Yes, by reducing strain on internal components and preventing overheating, cavity cleaning extends the lifespan of your dryer. Lint buildup can cause wear and tear on parts like the motor and heating elements. Keeping these areas clean minimizes damage, helping you get more years out of your appliance.

Lint buildup in dryer cavities is a leading cause of dryer fires. When lint accumulates around heating elements or other hot parts of the dryer, it can ignite. Poor maintenance and failure to clean both the vent and cavity regularly contribute to this risk. Regular cavity cleaning is one of the most effective ways to prevent dryer-related fires.
